Today I’m delighted to present you Japkozjad’s first steps into Future House, and he nailed it! With a feel and sound somewhat reminiscent of Midnight Musician’s “Where’s Your Heaven Now” this song has it all! A lovely Melody that’ll be stuck in your head for quite some time, stunning vocals by Japkozjad himself and drops that’ll get you jumping around! This song is definitely one to not miss and I strongly suggest all my fellow House nuts and lovers of EDM to have a listen, I promise you’ll be putting it on repeat for hours!

Daniel Ingram & Lena Hall – The Spectacle (Koa Remix) | Hands Up
Well, I’m always happy when remixes to old G4 classics show up, and as always Koa does not disappoint! We get the amazing vocals almost straight from the get go, and the melody instantly catches you and has your head bopping along and the first switch up is not to far out either! The song truly shines in both its verses and its drops, showing amazing variations all throughout and it stays upbeat and entertaining the whole way through!
Rarity Vrymer Collective – Rarity Investigates (VIP) | Dubstep
Well then, this certainly was a surprise I didn’t see coming! Starting out with entire spoken lines from the Equestria girls special with some lovely melodies the song at first seems to focus a lot on official vocals, but other then the intro you get one more bit of official lines, and other then that it’s just pure dubstep beauty! The song has everything from smooth melodies, drum builds, vocal builds and fills, and incredibly fun and energy filled drops, in simplest terms the track is six minutes of pure power and never stopping fun, and not a second seems boring or repetitive!
HaNaVa – Not Much to Miss (covering 4Everfreebrony & EilyMonty) | Pop Rock
Coming out of nowhere HaNaVa brings us this amazing covering of a 4Everfreebrony classic, performing/recording everything except the drums live, and it sounds wonderful! It’s no secret that covers aren’t easy to do, but HaNaVa definitely nailed it! Managing a stunning sound in the instruments and gorgeous vocals they absolutely did the original justice and I’m looking forward to more from them!
Awkward Marina – Anthropology (Marina’s 10-year Anniversary Version) | Pop/Electro Swing
Wow – believe it or not, it’s already been ten years since Awkward Marina’s legendary “Anthropology” came out, and to this day it still receives a lot of love (perhaps most notably via the BlackIceMusic Remix)! To mark the occasion, we have a renewed anniversary edition courtesy of Awkward Marina herself – so let’s get into the awesomeness!
The first thing you’ll notice is that the song received a whole new instrumental; we now have an upbeat pop melody with – you guessed it – lyre, guitar parts and some horse contributions later in the song as well, all of which create a fun departure from the predominantly piano-focused instrumental of the original! You’ll also be able to spot some slight changes to the lyrics, most obviously the increase in girl power as the names of Barack Obama and Micheal Phelps are changed to Lauren Faust (the beloved creator of Gen 4) and Lady Gaga (one of Awkward Marina’s musical inspirations). Additionally, Awkward Marina put in a bit of a fourth wall break, replacing the line, “Maybe humans like us, too, and dress like us at Comic Con,” with, “Maybe humans like us and write us our own fandom songs.” There are even more fun details to discover, but I’m not going to spoil it all – you’ll have to listen to it yourself (available soon on Spotify as well)!
Before I close this, I want to give a special thanks to Awkward Marina herself for being a big help in writing this article by explaining some of the details – this couldn’t have worked without her! Last but not least, a big thanks to theCANderson for helping me write an article that does this amazing song justice!
SlightlyAmiss – Horse Enough | Post-Hardcore
Alright ponies, time to not take ourselves too serious for a while, cause neither does this song! ‘Horse Enough’ is essentially a stab against people who get elitist about how Pony the music their favourite musician makes is, it’s a song dedicated to all those ‘mlp…please’ people who think they can make demands about the content of songs of their favourite artists. Of course as you’d expect from a SlightlyAmiss song this also includes some nods to fandom memes in both lyrics and artwork, a good example being a line that references the old ‘jar’ and the nod to Vylet Pony’s ‘Antonymph’ in a poster in the artwork. This song kinda portrays a toxic side of people’s dedication to the fandom, where people get entitled to their favourite fandom musicians only producing pony music and if they don’t, they get people saying it’s ‘not Horse Enough’. So apart from this song being an absolute pleasure to listen to, it also provides some nice food for thought.
Jyc Row & Gabriel Borza – Aqasha, Goddess of Destruction (feat. Marko Duplisak) | Metal
Today we bring to you this lovely metal cover of Aqasha, Goddess of Destrucion. Jyc Row got together quite a few people for this: The original lyrics were written by Shelley Harland, and covered by the amazing Marko Duplisak. Together with guitars and drums by Gabriel Borza, and of course all the work by Jyc himself this cover is a lovely variation to the usual orchestral focus in the Infinite Eclipse series and definitely worth a listen!
MirroredReality – Apotheosis | Trance
MirroredReality never disappoints with their amazing tracks, and Apotheosis is no exception! With a stunning melody and an upbeat synth this song is sure to get you on your hooves and dancing!
Algo at All – Scrimshawl (covering Captive Unicorns) | Art Pop
Today I’m happy to bring you this lovely cover by Algo at All, breathing new life into an amazing song with his lovely voice and a completely new new instrumental, especially said vocals and the guitar make for a wonderfully captivating song that makes you nod your head along.
Daniel Ingram & Ashleigh Ball – I’ll Fly (EveryDayDashie Remix) | Electro House/Trance
Just because Gen 5 has now officially kicked off doesn’t mean the classic show tunes won’t get any more love! Today I bring you a fun remix by EveryDayDashie, a track full of fun synths, booming drums and drops that’ll stay in your ear for quite some time, EveryDayDashie also makes good use of muffled vocal to spice up the track a bit, making for a wonderful bit of variety.
